This year, the high school teachers are implementing
two websites fluently into pre-existing units. These two websites are Glogster
and Prezi. Glogster is a tool used to create a virtual poster. Glogster allows
the creator to have a limitless imagination; because videos and articles can be embedded into the poster itself. Prezi is like PowerPoint, except that it uses
zooming interface technology to create an experience for the audience while
keeping the speaker on track. These websites can be used by both the teachers
and the students.
American government teacher Mrs. Elaine Jenkins has already
implemented both of these websites into her Honors Government class through her
Political Survey project. The students were shown how to use both Prezi and
Glogster and were allowed to choose one for the presentation of their results.
Mrs. Jenkins said, “After learning the techniques of Prezi and Glogster, the students
are really excited about their presentations. I am really excited to see them.”
